Chicago International Movies and Music Fest

Chicago International Movies and Music Fest

The independent side of two art forms ¿ movies and music ¿ merges for the Chicago International Movies and Music Fest. Highlights will be three film series, "British Invasion," "Punk Around the World" (including "Sons of Norway,") and a Les Blank retrospective; the Chicago premiere of "Queens of Country" (with an appearance by stars Lizzy Caplan, Joe Lo Truglio and Matt Walsh); and a performance of "Rapper's Delight" with The Sugarhill Gang founders Wonder Mike and Master Gee. For the full schedule, go to cimmfest.org. Why go: We still believe the best way to get the most out of a movie is on the big screen, and you'll get to hear some rare music performances from different genres. Reconsider: You think of your iPad as the "big screen" and only relate to music on the download. Details: Thursday through April 15 at various locations; $7-$15; 773-234-2466
